Robbing Banks - The Morality of Dishonesty

A few years ago robbers entered a bank in a small town.

One of them shouted: "Don't move! The money belongs to the bank. Your lives belong to you.”

Immediately all the people in the bank laid on the floor quietly and without panic.

This is an example of how the correct wording of a sentence can make everyone change their view of the world.




One woman laid on the floor in a provocative manner.

The robber approached her saying, " Ma'am, this is a robbery not a rape. Please behave accordingly."

This is an example of how to behave professionally, and focus on the goal.




While running from the bank the youngest robber (who had a college degree) said to the oldest robber (who had barely finished elementary school): "Hey, maybe we should count how much we stole." ?

The older man replied: "Don’t be stupid. It's a lot of money so let's wait for the news on TV to find out how much money was taken from the bank."

This is an example of how life experience is more important than a degree.



After the robbery, the manager of the bank said to his accountant:

"Let's call the cops and tell them how much has been stolen."

"Wait”, said the Accountant, "before we do that, let's add the $800,000 we took for ourselves a few months ago and just say that it was stolen as part of today’s robbery."

This is an example of taking advantage of an opportunity.



The following day it was reported in the news that the bank was robbed of $ 3 million.

The robbers counted the money, but they found only $1 million so they started to grumble.

"We risked our lives for $1 million, while the bank's management robbed two million dollars without blinking? Maybe its better to learn how to work the system, instead of being a simple robber."

This is an example of how knowledge can be more useful than power.



Moral :Give a person a gun, and he can rob a bank . Give a person a bank, and he can rob everyone.

Hi John. I liked that one. I think it was Woody Guthrie in one of his songs, the biggest robbers don't have guns they have pens!

On the show How to be A Millionaire on Monday here, one of the blokes was asked about being in a bank, he said he solved a bank robbery, said he had seen these blokes putting some guns into the boot of a car and he took the number, later after the bank was robbed he told the police the number and they wee captured, The Compare said you were a hero, how much time did they get, he said Ten years, he then said something like don't you think you should keep quiet, They might be looking at who dobbed them in.
